its a theory nothing more. more disturbing when new pieces dont fit, they throw them away.

What pieces, where? The biological theory of evolution is, in fact, one of the most successful scientific theories in history. Nearly all of our improvements in food and medicine, as well as our rather deep understanding of plant and animal life on this planet is a result of the success of this theory.

That said, I am not going to waste my time trying to explain it to someone who obviously isn't interested. All I will say is that you should get a real science education before you try to have a conversation with a scientist such as myself on a topic I've spent my entire adult life studying and researching. That way, you won't walk away with mud on your face.

rudeness and pride are never indicators of education

You are assuming that those who support a religious belief as if it is a scientific theory while constantly harping anti-science rhetoric somehow deserve the respect of the world's scientific community. I wouldn't make that assumption if I were you.

Yonaguni Monument - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A 20 million year old natural sandstone and mudstone formation IS quite an elephant in the room - for CREATIONISTS. Why? Because it kinda screws up their 10,000 year old universe. Oh, and from your link:

Quote:
Some of those who have studied the formation, such as geologist Robert Schoch of Boston University, state that it is most likely a natural formation, possibly used and modified by humans in the past. Schoch observes that the sandstones that make up the Yonaguni formation "contain numerous well-defined, parallel bedding planes along which the layers easily separate. The rocks of this group are also criss-crossed by numerous sets of parallel and vertical (relative to the horizontal bedding planes of the rocks) joints and fractures. Yonaguni lies in an earthquake-prone region; such earthquakes tend to fracture the rocks in a regular manner."[1][14] He also observes that on the northeast coast of Yonaguni there are regular formations similar to those seen at the Monument.[1][15] Schoch also believes that the "drawings" identified by Kimura are natural scratches on the rocks.[14] This is also the view of John Anthony West.[3]
Patrick D. Nunn, Professor of Oceanic Geoscience at the University of the South Pacific, has studied these structures extensively and notes that the structures below the water continue in the Sanninudai slate cliffs above, which have "been fashioned solely by natural processes" and concludes in regard to the underwater structures that "there seems no reason to suppose that they are artificial."[16]
Other examples of natural formations with flat faces and sharp straight edges are the basalt columns of the Giant's Causeway and the natural staircase formation on Old Rag Mountain.[17]
